DC here!

I have basically the same measurements as you and I've lost 17 pounds in 6 weeks. It was slow and steady in the first 4 weeks but I've been losing more rapidly as of late. Here's what I've found worked... 1) Drink TONS of water, I literally drink at minimum 10 cups a day and usually more than that. 2) Avoid sodium, and…

I also always think about rewards in foods I can cheat with, so this is such a great topic! at 10 pounds I bought myself a new bike when I reach... 20 pounds lost: rather pricey heart rate monitor 30 pounds lost: new sneakers (love shoes!) and safety lights for my bike 40 pounds lost: bike rack and bag so i dont have to…

Hmm.... unfortunately I dont know much about the shakes so I can't help that much. In terms of your original issue that you're full and not meeting your calories, I'd assume the shakes are meant to be particularly filling so that you don't get hungry, but on the other hand that doesn't mean that they provide all of the…

I'm a little concerned because your body not digesting it doesn't mean that it wont affect your weight loss... hmmm will have to do some extra research! Thanks for the info folks.

I'm going to jump for joy if these miracle noodles you speak of pan out... I'm just confused about what they could be made of? I read that they are made up of "Glucomannan." But what is this? Is its affect on the body debatable? How does the body process it? I'm just weary because I switched over to drinking like 2 cans of…

The other thing is that you should remember that the the ideal eating pattern is smaller meals more often, instead of 1-3 large meals everyday. What was happening to me was that I was eating breakfast, lunch, a snack, then dinner and having extra calories. I had to remember to eat a bigger breakfast and then a snack in…

I'll add ya'll! In terms of having a ton of calories to go, have you taken a look at the actual nutrients in the calories you are adding? For example, a person can fill up on fatty foods that will make them feel full and be under calories but not have enough protein or fiber or things of that sort, so while they are not…

If you want to scan an item go through the same process you would to enter anything else, then when you would enter your food title in "search for food" you will see a blue bar code looking icon just to the right of where you would enter search times, tap the barcode icon and you'll be able to use it using your cell phones…

Agreed, I'd say to up your calories about 100 a day or so. If you're really worried about adding do it in something like a protein shake where the calories are sizable but you dont have to worry too much about the other stuff you're adding. I'd also recommend upping your water in take, as that may kick start your…

Protein shakes are a good low calories stomach filler too!

Ok, one last question, because this is rocking my weight loss world! Ironman kind of hit on this, but what are some easy ways to increase calorie intake? Protein shakes? Anyone have specific protein shake recommendations? I'm trying to make sure I increase effectively but not with junk food and an overabundance of things…

It looked off to me too, to be honest, but its a good starting point. I have 80 pounds to lose total but was picking a benchmark. I'm 5'5" 220 right now.

Your my hero!:) I have about 60 pounds to lose. Thanks for explaining this to me, I really appreciate it. I knew I was missing something!

Military Fat Calculator - 53.1% Goal Body Weight - 128 pounds BMR- 1799 TDEE- 2155 I think I'm having a revelation here... so this means that I should eat 2155, burn off around 500, leaving me at 1700 and I should see better results? I've been doing counting calories/working out like 3 weeks now... in the first 2 weeks I…

Ok Lets Try Again, sorry about that! Military Fat Calculator - 53.1% Goal Body Weight - 128 pounds BMR- 1799 TDEE- 2155 ... im lost as to what this means now though!
-
So I did the calculations more specifically: Military Fat Calculator - 53.1% Goal Body Weight - 128 pounds (this is about 10-12 pounds less than what I want, but I'll go with it for this activity) BMR- 2155 calories with moderate activity This means essentially for me I'd eat 2155, burn off 500, leaving around 1600...…
-
Ah! Thats what I was missing... not eating back... 1700 makes sense if I'm burning off 500. It doesn't make sense if its saying eat 1700, burn off 500, and then eat 500 more. Correct?
-
Sedentary. Though I do work out... Check above for my details, I edited my post.
-
I followed all of your steps but it has nothing about exercise... just tells me I should eat 1732 calories a day based on my current weight and my goal weight... I have my goals set at 1200, I lost 8 pounds in the first 2 weeks and have hit a wall and haven't lost this week at all. I upped my exercise calorie burn off goal…
-
Totally agree, but the original question was what heart rate should you be at to be in the fat burning zone, not what should the heart rate be in order to burn the most calories. If the goal is just to burn the most calories then whatever exercise can keep your heart rate the highest (safely) and for an extended period of…
-
The heart rate depends on your age and weight. For you (based on your profile) it would be around 126. Most cardio machines (even bikes) will have a fat burning setting that you can use, and as long as you keep your hands on the heart rate monitors it'll adjust the resistance/speed/etc as you need it.
